Political Rhetoric in Post-9/11 Popular Media HEROES AND VILLAINS: POLITICAL RHETORIC IN POST-9/11 POPULAR MEDIA Hannah Maulden A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS August 2015 Committee: Marilyn Motz, Advisor Jeff Brown Radhika Gajjala ii ABSTRACT Marilyn Motz, Advisor President George W. Bush experienced a drastic rise in popularity after the terrorist attacks of September 11th, 2001, and this popularity continued through his first term and enabled him to be reelected for a second. In this thesis, I seek to explain some of President Bush’s popularity by examining American popular entertainment media produced between 2001 and 2004. I look at ways that this media reinforced White House rhetoric and encouraged Bush’s continued popularity with the American people. I analyze television shows (24 and Alias), romantic comedy and superhero movies (Two Weeks Notice, How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days, Maid in Manhattan, Spider-Man, and Spider-Man 2), and war-themed video games (Halo: Combat Evolved, Halo 2, Call of Duty, and Freedom Fighters) to examine how they contributed to the establishment of an “Us vs. Them” mentality and the construction of the wealthy white man (i.e. Bush himself) as the American savior, as well as created an environment in which any questioning of the Bush Administration or the War on Terror could be interpreted as traitorous. iii To Damien. Thanks for putting up with my crazy while this was being written and for always reading/editing/proofing everything I write without complaint. You’re my favorite. iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank my advisor, Dr. Marilyn Motz, for all of her insightful feedback and willingness to help me finish this on a pretty quick deadline. I would also like to thank Matti, Bri, Jacob and Alex for their encouragement and support throughout the process of writing this thesis, as well as making the experience of earning my M.A. in Popular Culture as fun and enjoyable as it was.

Bush. After a recount in Florida, Bush was appointed the 41st president of the United States through the Electoral College despite having lost the popular vote to Al Gore. Bush began his first term in office with an approval rating of 57%, according to Gallup, Inc., and, for the larger part his first year, saw a decline in this approval rating (Presidential Approval Ratings). According to Gallup, Inc., Bush scored an approval rating of 51% for the week of September 7-10 (Presidential Approval Ratings). However, after the terrorist attacks on September 11th, Bush’s approval rating skyrocketed. The week of September 14-15 saw Bush with an approval rating of 86% (Presidential Approval Ratings). This rose to 90% the following week, the highest approval rating of any president to date (Presidential Approval Highs and Lows). Although it did not stay in the 80-90%, Bush’s approval ratings remained high for the remainder of his first term, and he was thus reelected for a second (Presidential Approval Ratings). This is despite the lack of justification for the War in Iraq, what Judith Butler calls the “extra-legal” components of the USA PATRIOT Act (Butler 92), and his inability to eliminate Osama Bin Laden. In Precarious Life: The Powers of Mourning and Violence, Butler explores “the rise of censorship and anti-intellectualism that took hold in the fall of 2001 when anyone who sought to understand the ‘reasons’ for the attack on the United States was regarded as someone who sought to ‘exonerate’ those who conducted the attack” (xiii). Butler suggests that hegemonic control of the media was attained through the establishment of distinct binaries in Post–9/11 American consciousness (2). These distinct binaries, such as “West vs. East,” “Christian vs. Muslim,” and 2 “America vs. Terrorists,” among others, reinforced the Bush Doctrine by creating an “Us vs. Them” mentality in which it was seemingly impossible to question the actions of the Bush administration without appearing to sympathize with the terrorists (2-3). Laura Shepherd’s essay, "Veiled References: Constructions Of Gender In The Bush Administration Discourse On The Attacks On Afghanistan Post-9/11," provides an analysis of many White House speeches made by President Bush, the First Lady, and other members of the Bush administration during the months directly following the attacks. Shepherd focuses on ways in which the Bush Administration constructed “the identities of ‘the nation,’ ‘the enemy,’ and ‘the intervention’ [what we were doing in Afghanistan and why]” as presented through these speeches. She also explores “ not only the ways in which [these constructions] are created and perpetuated, but also the ways in which they make certain responses, actions and attitudes permissible and censor others” (19). Butler and Shepherd focus their arguments largely on news media and White House rhetoric. Their ideas, however, can be applied to popular entertainment media as well. The close relationship between the government and popular media existed long before the terrorist attacks. For example, in 1996, the CIA hired Chase Brandon as a formal liaison to Hollywood. His job was to work closely with film and television companies, providing “advice, technical consultants, shooting locations, props, and equipment” (Jenkins 230). According to Tricia Jenkins, Brandon [was hired] to transform the CIA’s image [from that of] a ‘negative, Machiavellian conspiratorial organization full of trench coat wearing, suspicious people who assassinated folks’ and […] soon after Brandon was hired, the agency began negotiations with 20th Century Fox Television to create a weekly 3 series based on CIA case files that would portray the agency in a positive manner. In other words, in an era where the future of the CIA seemed uncertain, the agency finally decided to place more importance on its Hollywood endeavors and set out to revamp decades worth of film and television programs that depicted the CIA as either buffoonish (think Get Smart) or as a rogue agency operating with little congressional oversight and a penchant for assassinations, torture, internal conspiracies, and brainwashing (think The Good Shepherd, The Manchurian Candidate, In the Line of Fire, the Jason Bourne trilogy, Three Days in the Condor, 24, and others.) (234) Brandon’s services were considered “free” to those in Hollywood looking to make films and television shows about the government agency, yet came with the price of only depicting the American military in a positive light (230). The CIA often “leverage[d] access to its equipment to get entertainment professionals to change facts, dialogue, and scenes according to military discretion” (230). After 9/11, the role of the CIA Liaison became even more critical. Brandon worked closely with series creator Michael

The analyst examined those organized crime syndicates that direct their criminal activities at the United States, namely Mexican narcotics trafficking and human smuggling networks, as well as a range of smaller organizations that specialize in trans-border crime. The presence in Mexico of transnational criminal organizations, such as Russian and Asian organized crime, was also examined. In order to assess the extent of terrorist activity in Mexico, several of the country’s domestic guerrilla groups, as well as foreign terrorist organizations believed to have a presence in Mexico, are described. The report extensively cites from Spanish-language print media sources that contain coverage of criminal and terrorist organizations and their activities in Mexico.

  • Austria: Jewish Family History Research Guide
    Courtesy of the Ackman & Ziff Family Genealogy Institute Revised June 2012 Updated March 12, 2013 Austria: Jewish Family History Research Guide Austria Like most European countries, Austria’s borders have changed considerably over time. In 1690 the Austrian Hapsburgs completed the reconquest of Hungary and Transylvania from the Ottoman Turks. From 1867 to 1918, Hungary achieved autonomy within the “Dual Monarchy,” or Austro-Hungarian Empire, as well as full control over Transylvania. After World War I, Austro-Hungry was split up among various other countries, so that areas formerly under Austro-Hungarian jurisdiction are today located within the borders of Austria, Bosnia, Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia and the Ukraine. The primary focus of this fact sheet is Austria within its post World War II borders. Fact sheets for other countries formerly part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire are also available. How to Begin Follow the general guidelines in our fact sheets on starting your family history research, immigration records, naturalization records, and finding your ancestral town. Determine whether your town is still within modern-day Austria, and in which county and district it is located. A good resource for starting your research is “Beginner’s Guide to Austrian Jewish Genealogy” by E. Randol Schoenberg. This manual is accessible on the jewishgen Austria-Czech Special Interest Group (SIG) website, www.jewishgen.org/AustriaCzech. Records • Depending on the time period, records may be in several languages: German, Hungarian, Hebrew, or Latin. • By decree of the Austrian Emperor, in 1787 all Jews within the Empire were required to adopt German surnames.

    THE STRONGHOLD Directed by Cédric Jimenez INTERNATIONAL MARKETING INTERNATIONAL PUBLICITY Alba OHRESSER Margaux AUDOUIN [email protected] [email protected] 1 SYNOPSIS Marseille’s north suburbs hold the record of France’s highest crime rate. Greg, Yass and Antoine’s police brigade faces strong pressure from their bosses to improve their arrest and drug seizure stats. In this high-risk environment, where the law of the jungle reigns, it can often be hard to say who’s the hunter and who’s the prey. When assigned a high-profile operation, the team engages in a mission where moral and professional boundaries are pushed to their breaking point. 2 INTERVIEW WITH CEDRIC JIMENEZ What inspired you to make this film? In 2012, the scandal of the BAC [Anti-Crime Brigade] Nord affair broke out all over the press. It was difficult to escape it, especially for me being from Marseille. I Quickly became interested in it, especially since I know the northern neighbourhoods well having grown up there. There was such a media show that I felt the need to know what had happened. How far had these cops taken the law into their own hands? But for that, it was necessary to have access to the police and to the files. That was obviously impossible. When we decided to work together, me and Hugo [Sélignac], my producer, I always had this affair in mind. It was then that he said to me, “Wait, I know someone in Marseille who could introduce us to the real cops involved.” And that’s what happened.

  • Alias Manager 4
    CHAPTER 4 Alias Manager 4 This chapter describes how your application can use the Alias Manager to establish and resolve alias records, which are data structures that describe file system objects (that is, files, directories, and volumes). You create an alias record to take a “fingerprint” of a file system object, usually a file, that you might need to locate again later. You can store the alias record, instead of a file system specification, and then let the Alias Manager find the file again when it’s needed. The Alias Manager contains algorithms for locating files that have been moved, renamed, copied, or restored from backup. Note The Alias Manager lets you manage alias records. It does not directly manipulate Finder aliases, which the user creates and manages through the Finder. The chapter “Finder Interface” in Inside Macintosh: Macintosh Toolbox Essentials describes Finder aliases and ways to accommodate them in your application. ◆ The Alias Manager is available only in system software version 7.0 or later. Use the Gestalt function, described in the chapter “Gestalt Manager” of Inside Macintosh: Operating System Utilities, to determine whether the Alias Manager is present. Read this chapter if you want your application to create and resolve alias records. You might store an alias record, for example, to identify a customized dictionary from within a word-processing document. When the user runs a spelling checker on the document, your application can ask the Alias Manager to resolve the record to find the correct dictionary. 4 To use this chapter, you should be familiar with the File Manager’s conventions for Alias Manager identifying files, directories, and volumes, as described in the chapter “Introduction to File Management” in this book.
